Before taking a rest, Yun Shang took some herbs, ground them into powder and then drank them with water.
Seeing this, Liu Man was confused, "My lady, are you sick?"
Yun Shang shook her head, "These are herbs that can make me sick."
Liu Man's eyes were wide open with surprise, "Why do you take those medicine?"
"I have my own plan." Yun Shang looked casual. "It's okay. I know the medicine I made is not harmful to my health."
It must not be beneficial either.
Liu Man's eyes were full of worry. She wondered whether she should report it to the emperor when she returned to the Jin City. If the emperor knew it, he would definitely be angry.
On the second day, as expected, Yun Shang fell ill with a pale face.
Yun Shang took out a bottle of facial cream and handed it to Liu Man. "Go and ask Wu Duona for a leave for me. Tell her that I'm sick and worried that I might infect her. I won't go there today.
If she asks, just tell her that I'm fine. Maybe it's because it's too cold and I catch a cold. I'll be fine in a few days.
This cream is newly made by me. It can make people's face turn rosy and beautiful. Recently, the spots on her face have faded a lot, and her skin has been taken good care of. It's time to change the prescription.
The usage of this cream is the same as that of my previous cream. Just ask the maid to apply it for her." After saying that, her eyes flashed slightly. "If there is an accident, you can help her apply it. Come on, let me teach you."
Liu Man answered. She learned from Yun Shang for a while. Seeing that Yun Shang's voice was weak, she looked at Yun Shang worriedly, "My lady, are you really okay?"
"I'm okay. Don't worry." Yun Shang waved her hand, "You may leave now."
After a pause, she continued, "It doesn't matter if Wu Duona asks a doctor to check on me. Just bring the doctor here."
Liu Man nodded. Since Yun Shang said so, it meant that she was confident enough. Even if a doctor or a witch doctor came, no loophole could be found.
Liu Man went to the main yard alone. There was still a distance from the main yard, and she saw a man walking out of the yard in a hurry.
Liu Man stopped and squinted at the man.
After the man left, Liu Man walked towards the main yard again. When Wu Duona saw her, she asked about Yun Shang as expected, "Where is Lady Wanna? Why didn't she come with you? Is there anything bothering her?"
Liu Man shook her head in a hurry and said, "She must have caught a cold last night. She felt uncomfortable this morning and didn't come because she was afraid that she might pass the cold to your ladyship."
Then she took out the facial cream from her sleeve and repeated what Yun Shang had told her.
Wu Duona asked the maid beside her to take the cream and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Why is she sick? Is it serious?"
"She said it was not serious, but I found that she didn't look well and her steps were unsteady."
Wu Duona frowned and asked, "Why does she get sick at this time?"
Liu Man couldn't help but lift her eyelids. At this time?
Liu Man came to her senses soon.
Liu Man hurried up to him and asked, "Sir, is my lady okay?"
"Nothing serious. She just caught a cold. I gave her some medicine and she will recover soon."
Liu Man felt a little relieved. Although she knew that Yun Shang was proficient in medicine, she was still worried. Liu Man didn't believe Yun Shang was okay until the doctor said so.
After sending the doctor out, Liu Man entered the room.
"How is it going?"
Liu Man answered, "Wu Duona's maid is also sick. Did you do it?"
Yun Shang glanced at her with a smile, "What does it have to do with me that the maid who serves Wu Duona is sick? I won't take the blame."
"What a coincidence!" Liu Man frowned and said, "when I went there earlier, you specially asked me to learn the way to apply the facial cream. Didn't you expect that the maid around Wu Duona couldn't serve her?"
Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, I knew that her maids couldn't serve her. It's not because I drugged her, but because I saw the expression and condition of Wu Duona's maid last night when I went to Wu Duona's place. She must be sick, but her symptoms haven't come out yet."
"I see." Only then did Liu Man understand, "Then why do you pretend to be sick, my lady?"
"Of course it's because the next one to be sick should be Wu Duona."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Later, Wu Duona will ask the doctor to treat the maid. As soon as the doctor makes the diagnosis, he will find that the maid's condition is much worse than mine. When Wu Duona gets sick, they will only think that it is the maid who has infected both Wu Duona and me. They won't suspect me."
